Paper and ink serve as important media for cultural inheritance and information transmission. With the development of civilization, the research on functional paper and ink has gradually gained attention. Carbon dots (CDs) have attracted widespread interest due to their excellent photoluminescence (PL) properties, strong ultraviolet (UV) absorption, electrical characteristics, and stability. This review summarizes the functionalization applications of CDs in ink and paper, and their applications progress in paper-based cultural relics conservation. To begin, the preparation methods of CDs are introduced. Subsequently, the PL, light absorption mechanisms, and electrical properties of CDs are discussed from the perspective of structure and classification. Then, we discuss the functional applications of CDs with unique optical or electrical properties in paper and ink, and also present the research progress of CDs in the field of paper conservation. Finally, the research development and potential challenges of CDs are presented. It is believed that in the near future, more properties of CDs will be developed, paving the way for the protection, development, and commercialization of paper and ink materials.
